About a month ago, I put out the 2016 Front-End Tooling Survey. The response has been phenomenal – to date, 4,715 developers have taken the time to fill it in. Thank you to all of you who have taken the time to do so.

JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed. JWTs can be signed using a secret (with the HMAC algorithm) or a public/private key pair using RSA.
